UTI?
Oh, Lord have mercy, I've been thinking about that too!I've been wondering how I can conceal the smell of cooking food.
If you were not prepped for a year or two then you were just playing at it.Most here are prepped but the way it’s going, this could be for much longer than we’ve prepped for. I see a new normal of still poking our heads out every week or so to see what’s available.
Sounds like you did a pretty good job of replacing them.Wise decision.When I lost my home, I lost my ppreps.
A lot of people are taking his advice.Just saw this at sgammo.com.Went to Wally’s at about 9:45. They’d already closed. Talked to the door guy for a moment. He said that “There’s really nothing left anyway.” Not a good sign. We next spoke of the rapidly emptying supply chain, and how ugly it was going to get when it was empty. He agreed and then said, “Have your ammo ready.”
This was from a 20-something.
Tick tock....

It's real hard though.LOLMust be nice to be perfect!
I’ve been waiting for shit to hit the news before I buy big. I had six of those yellow/black totes from Costco. Around NK time a year or two back, I got a big bag of rice and some beans, about thirty bags of bear creek soups, a box of oatmeal, and such. When they locked down Wuhan, I took that as a trigger. As my wife almost never goes shopping with me, I just started picking up a big of this or that. Local store had Progresso soup 99c; no limit. I raided the change jar and bought 44 cans, with quarters. With those I already had, it’s about 90 cans of soup. The dry soup makes 1/2 gallon, about 4 cans, so there’s another 120 cans worth. Picked up 36 cans of Hunts pasta sauce at 98c, and have about 25 pounds of pasta. Twenty pounds of bread flour, 100 pounds of dry beans, 140 pounds of rice. All our meds have a full 100 days set aside, most have another two months or more.I'm really amazed to see folks here on the forum still having to go out and about scavenging for things to stock. I guess I had misconceptions about TB being a "prepper" forum. It is understandable, though, that everyone wanted to go out, and top off everything. We did, but are on lock down now, till this is over. We will make do, or do without.
I'm making lentils and rice in crock pot. half cup rice, cup lentils, can corn, can tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, olive oil and a half stick butter. Comes out good. When i put in a whole cup of rice too thick. Came out good and soupy. Now if i can only find some darn crackers! We had it easy 2 months ago!The Mexican markets around me are much better. They truck their own produce and eggs and such direct from the ranches and have a better stock of items so Im told. We are not leaving the property and not to be cold blooded but I am calling in markers right about now and have people doing things for me.
That's great! You stocked up good.I’ve been waiting for shit to hit the news before I buy big. I had six of those yellow/black totes from Costco.

Five of those totes are full, working on the sixth.
Appraiser friend backlogged. She did 18 last week, has to write them up this week.Real estate has been hot lately. People paying more than listed price. SIL is an agent, has been selling like crazy since feb. Suburban area. Who buys a house during a pandemic? I would think the layoffs and closures would discourage people. She did deliver tp to a recent customer. Maybe that's the trick.
Went to Walmart for “senior hour” (6-7 am). There was literally nothing left.
meat section, empty. Dairy, empty. Bread, empty. Flour and sugar, empty. Canned goods, empty. Soup, empty. TP (of course), empty. Canned meats, empty. Frozen cases (all), maybe 3% filled. Cheeses, empty. Produce, nearly empty. Paper towels, empty. Paper plates (!) almost empty. I took pics. I had to make a personal record.
I have been out shopping for older neighbors. I need nothing but cant watch others suffer!I will k
Oh I'm prepped alright but I'm not dipping into the super pails quite yet or the mountain house. Waiting to see just how bad this gets.

1-) Y'all live way to close to other people.
2-) Springtime on the farm takes care of the problem. The smell of sour melting manure trumps all else. Then we spread it.
thank you for the documentation
I have a tp subscription too. We were a little backed up, i was going to cancel. Now I'm waiting to see what's going to get delivered. This months came on the 13th as expected.Amazon has really pissed me off. I use the subscribe/save with my PRIME subscription. I normally buy a case of TP a month. Now Amazon has sold my TP to someone willing to pay a higher rate! I would think they would take their regular orders off the market, put them away and sell whats leftover!
I'm guessing it's someone who thinks they won't have to pay on the note, esp. if people are willing to accept more than the listed price.Real estate has been hot lately.
